...find came in 1954. Shell Oil brought in a 1,170-bbl.-daily well at Desert Creek in nearby Utah. But the biggest discovery came in 1956. The Texas Co. tried to get other companies to come in on a deal to drill in the Aneth section of southeastern Utah, where the lease was about to expire, found no takers, and finally went reluctantly ahead itself.

Last week Kishi was in the air again, this time on a tour of eight nations, including Australia and the Philippines. In all his travels Kishi has stressed three major themes: 1) Japan is sorry (for World...
...York City's International Airport at Idlewild, on the southeastern edge of Queens, has sprouted like a teen-ager since its opening a decade ago. But the barracks-like terminal buildings originally built as temporary edifices remained to cramp it like an outgrown and tattered suit. Last week Idlewild got a sparkling array of new buildings eminently befitting its position as the aerial gateway to the U.S. While 2,000 guests looked on, New York's Governor Harriman, New Jersey's Governor Meyner and Mayor Wagner of New York City formally dedicated a $30 million, half-mile...
